Sheer is IN

2012-01-26T03:18:00.000-08:00

I'm gonna be so fly this Spring in my sheer naked goldfish dress. Complete with googly eyes and nude knickers.
Seriously, I'll be so trendy. Just check out here, here, here, and here. This is for you Jen. You weren't online for me to show you this amazing trend so I had to draw it instead!

Kitchen Paints

About time I update this. I'm a horrible blogger. I'm always too lazy to post things.

The best toy

Perspective is all wonky in this, but I'm letting it go.

Fifth Element

2011-04-10T02:06:00.000-07:00

Influenced by http://sketchesnatched.blogspot.com/ 's amazing paintings from movies.

30min for the lines 1hour for the painting.

Speed landscape

2010-09-21T20:10:00.000-07:00

Felt like trying my hands at a landscape speed paint. Couldn't quite figure out what to do, so I grabbed a photo as reference.

Below is the photo I used. Credit goes to Richard Weisser at SmokyPhotos.com

Brick Drop

2010-09-19T01:18:00.000-07:00

I really like making the backgrounds for my drop tests. I remember having absolutely no clue on what to draw for backgrounds, but after Bunny's class it's been so enjoyable. I like to look at animation backgrounds for inspiration. They are often simple but oh so well designed.

Teamwork

2010-09-19T01:03:00.000-07:00

Something quick based on the theme of "teamwork." It was fun just painting something simple and loose. I would like to do more simple paintings like these. Does anyone have any good theme ideas?

Inspired by Pascal Campion's delightful work. Really enjoyed his lecture at SHM last semester.

Some things I meant to post a while ago

2010-07-10T11:04:00.000-07:00

My borg portrait!! Using zbrush made me realize how little I know about sculpting. I just couldn't get the different edge qualities I wanted to achieve on the borg. Once I have enough money for supplies (and time) I wanna try my hands at making maquettes!!! I'm thinking of making an octopus-maid/woman (like Ursula). It would be hard, but hella fun.

Twig and branch painting. These were a lot of fun.

Train

2009-12-10T08:58:00.000-08:00

Final train perspective. I got to do a quick painting of it for extra credit. I thought a bit about toys and Willy Wonka's (1st film) candy making/"washing" machines when I designed this.

Train - 3 views.

2009-11-19T12:14:00.000-08:00

For drafting in perspective.
The design's not all that fascinating really. Not sure how I feel about this one.
This girl in my comm 20 class really liked it though.

Color Comps+Final color

2009-11-19T10:34:00.000-08:00

4x4 inch color comps done in acrylic. The scans are kind of bad, so the colors are not all that true to real life. You get the idea though. I did the complementary comp twice since I misunderstood the directions. I do quite like how the mistake comp turned out though.

And here's the final

drapery studie

2009-10-18T22:03:00.000-07:00

I simplified the shapes in the drapery more this time. I like the nice complex vs simple shapes in this one.

Monte bello Plein Air

2009-10-18T19:43:00.000-07:00

Plein air with Cams class Monte bello space preserve. About 3 hours. I learned a lot about landscape/atmospheric painting today, and Cam and Rudy both gave me very helpful crits. Man, I love it when a crit is helpful.

B/W rendering

2009-10-14T23:04:00.000-07:00

Here's my b/w rendering. Next time I shall try the make the flowers much, much better.

drapery studies

2009-09-27T22:36:00.001-07:00

Some drapery study for Sheldon's class.

Reversal

Finally photographed this.
A charcoal copy of a photo by Robert Doisneau. I really liked the photo, so this was pretty painless.

Final Comic + 1st comic

2009-05-23T13:42:00.000-07:00

20 minute life drawing.

2008-11-22T07:53:00.000-08:00

Went life drawing with my laptop one day. Doing the coloring was really fun. Contour drawings were harder to do on the laptop. I'll definitely bring my laptop to the sessions again put I'd only use it for the 20min poses.

Posting this for Nelson, cause he wanted me to post art, but I am too lazy to scan anything.

My final animation.

Typical girliness from Jeanie

2008-05-02T05:53:00.001-07:00

Blogger doesn't like images in CYMK mode at all. Hm... this worries me.

Cover image for my journal book final for class. It's very feminine but I painted it with the contents of my book in mind. A lot of my sketches and artist images I found are feminine so it suits my book well. Inspired Lord Frederic Leighton. He's so awesome. :3

Gotta finish my book. So stressed. D:
